An update that breaks the application on a Friday evening, a vulnerability found in production, a password left in the code: these incidents often share the same cause, security checked too late. DevSecOps (development, security and operations brought together) builds those checks into every step. We put it in place for SMEs and local authorities on the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur), for their applications as well as their infrastructure.
What does DevSecOps change for a business owner?
Traditionally, you develop first, then check security just before going live, or even after an incident. With DevSecOps, every change is checked automatically as soon as it is written. For you, that means:
- Fewer vulnerabilities in production: flaws are caught before going live, when they are cheapest to fix.
- Reliable deployments: every release follows the same automated, verified path. Rolling back is always possible.
- Faster changes: with no risky manual steps, you release more often and with more confidence.
- Documented infrastructure: everything is described and version-controlled, so it can be rebuilt and handed over to another team.
What we put in place
- CI/CD pipelines: continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) test, scan and deploy every change automatically. Your code and the libraries it uses are scanned for known vulnerabilities.
- Infrastructure as code: servers, containers and configurations are described in version-controlled files rather than set up by hand. An installation can be rebuilt identically whenever needed.
- Secrets and access management: passwords and keys are never stored in the code. Everyone accesses only what they need, and access is logged.
- Observability: logs, metrics and alerts show the state of your applications at all times and flag abnormal behaviour.
This is the approach we apply to custom software development and to AI integration. Once in production, our operational maintenance takes over.
Tools: GitLab, Ansible, Kubernetes, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana.
